A new act of revenge by the US president against those he considers enemies. Donald Trump has filed a $5 billion lawsuit (€4.256 billion at the current exchange rate) against JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the US, accusing it of ceasing to provide him with financial services after the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The bank announced this in a statement.

The threat has become a realityThrough his legal representatives, Donald Trump finally sued the BBC on Monday night in a Florida court over the broadcast of a report on the program Panorama Just days before the 2024 election, the president filed a lawsuit in 33 pages accusing the British public broadcaster of "defamation, malicious manipulation, and attempted interference" in last year's White House race. Trump is seeking $10 billion in damages, approximately €8.51 billion. The lawsuit allocates $5 billion for alleged defamation and another $5 billion for violations of Florida's law on deceptive and unfair business practices. Initially, Trump threatened the network with a $1 billion lawsuit, and later $5 billion. Now he has doubled down. The lawsuit alleges that the program's producers edited a speech Trump gave on January 6, 2021, when he had The assault on the Capitol has begun. by violent supporters of the Republican. Last month, the BBC already apologized for splicing together two separate excerpts of the president's remarks in the report, fifty minutes apart. The failure to indicate the time difference could give the impression that Trump had called for violence. The result, the network admitted, could be misleading. However, the court document maintains that it was not an innocent mistake, but a "false, misleading, and malicious representation" intended to politically damage Donald Trump.

If the BBC edited a report that implied Trump explicitly incited violence on January 6, 2021, it did a poor job. Because it wasn't careful, and because it has given Trump the perfect pretext to talk about "fake media"

It has been one year since the assault on Washington's Capitol by a populist far right backed by the defeated President Donald Trump. That episode, which embarrassed the United States, is difficult to erase. It remains as an insidious and persistent stain for American democracy, which impudently showed its fragility. Its consequences are still being felt. In fact, American society continues to be marked by those unprecedented events that made it around the world live: a citizens' assault that forced the evacuation of congressmen threatened by the mob and resulted in five deaths and hundreds of arrests.
